IDE agent client

Connect an IDE coding agent as an AITracer client via OTLP.

AITracer is the platform. The IDE agent (Cline) is a client that emits telemetry.

Setup

  1. Install the Cline extension in VS Code or Cursor.
  2. Create an AITracer workspace API key (akt_…).
  3. Export OTEL variables in the shell that launches your editor:
export CLINE_OTEL_TELEMETRY_ENABLED=true
export CLINE_OTEL_METRICS_EXPORTER=otlp
export CLINE_OTEL_LOGS_EXPORTER=otlp
export CLINE_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_PROTOCOL="http/json"
export CLINE_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT="https://aitracer.app/api/integrations/otlp/v1/traces"
export CLINE_OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="Authorization=Bearer akt_YOUR_KEY"
  1. Open Dashboard → Sessions after a run.

In-app copy-paste: Dashboard → Clients.
